Slotted Optical Switch

OPB610, OPB611, OPB620, OPB621
Features:
• Non-contact switching
• Printed circuit board moun ng
• Enhanced signal to noise ra o
• PIN photodiode sensor for high speed (OPB611, OPB621)
• Lead centers: 0.275: (OPB61_) / 0.320” (OPB62_)

DescripƟon:
The OPB610 and OPB620 slo ed op cal switches consist of an infrared emi ng diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor
with an enhanced low current roll-off to improve contrast ra o and immunity to background irradiance.

The OPB611, OPB621 slo ed op cal switch consists of an infrared emi ng diode and a PIN photodiode with a polysulfone
housing that is opaque to visible light, but transmissive to infrared. The low tr/tf of the PIN photodiode is ideal for high-
speed opera on. The sensi vity to ambient radia on is minimized.

Custom electrical, wire and cabling and connectors are available. Contact your local representa ve or OPTEK for more
informa on.

Notes:
(1) RMA flux is recommended. Dura on can be extended to 10 seconds maximum when flow soldering. A maximum of 20 grams force may be applied to leads when soldering.
(2) Derate linearly 1.33 mW/°C above 25 ° C.
(3) Derate linearly 2.0 mW/°C above 25 ° C.
(4) Plas c body is soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons and keytones. It is recommended that a trial exposure to flux & cleaning chemicals is performed to ensure sensor is not damaged.
